He thought he was the only one who knew. He was wrong. Dorian Gray had a dark secrect he thought that no one knew about. But that was not exactly true for there was someone else who knew about the painting and how it had become intertwined with his life. She could have saved him but a soul once tainted by evil can never be pure again. And some curses just cannot be broken.

When Dorian returned to London from his faraway travels, you instantly caught his eye. But you were engaged and had no intentions of leaving your fiancé, though he could sense you felt the same attraction to him as he did towards you. 'Dorian Gray x reader' short story written on request for my tumblr blog.

In Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', Basil accuses Dorian of ruining the lives of his former 'friends', including a certain gentleman named Adrian Singleton. But where did it all begin? Originally for coursework, but my friends persuaded me to upload it :)

"It was at that point that he realised the truly reprobate actions that had just now taken place. Basil Hallward had wanted to utter something, a final prayer, perhaps a plea of forgiveness to his friend, but his brain was growing hazy with a crimson mist, so he had settled for a conclusive thought, and it was as follows."

Just an outing with Lord Henry Wotton to the theatre, or is it? Dorian believes it might be more when he sees her. Will fate conspire and bring Dorian and her together? Or will it all end tragically like the end of one of her performances? DorianxSybil *First Fanfic*

There was no dagger to drive through my heart like Juliet nor asp to hold to my breast like Cleopatra, but there was a bottle. My hands trembled as I reached for it, clutching it to my chest as Cleopatra clutched the asp. An insight into the final moments of some of the characters from Dorian Gray.

What would you be willing to sacrifice to save the soul of the one you love? Allowed seven days, Basil Hallward must challenge fate itself to save the afterlife of his friend. He may indeed find fate to be a worthy opponent and perhaps discover feelings deeper than he had known for his dear friend.

This is a fiction inspired by Carmilla's "Corruption". I would strongly suggest reading that, first.SLASH. Dorian/Basil with a beginning that contains Dorian/Lord Henry. And, yes of course, I've read more audio-booked Oscar Wilde's original piece.Enjoy.
